Nature holds her breath
Autumn anticipation
Waiting for the snow

Nature will exhale any moment now here in Idaho. The season just turned last week. It was sudden and unmistakable. I love 'Autumn anticipation' and how you capped it with the waiting for snow. Excellent work, BR.

I'll tell you again that I'm glad to see you commenting again L.J. This year (2011) we got a huge snowstorm befor Halloween.

It is a pleasure to come and see such quality poetry, BR. As you said elsewhere, this was a busy site once. Eritain and OptoMike, Da Red Queen, many others with wonderful talent. Would have loved a book of their Haiku's. Then went through a time of vulgarity but that didn't last too long. Such writings melt in the sunshine of true talent. It is so nice to be back among the Poets! I love your work, BR. Lida Jo from Idaho

With you by my side
The night has lost its terror
Blessed reunion

Pleasantries exchanged
You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours
In the human zoo

Good last line. Are we looking in or out?

Dancing veterans
Government's empty promise
Leaves them in the cold

So why are they dancing?
-------
Trying to keep warm.

For light refreshments
Give me the taste of moonbeams
The fragrance of stars

yes it's better to stick with moonbeams and stars...that moonshine can kill you.

BR, your imagery is sooooo fine! May I use this in my poetry class to illustrate images? I'll give you credit. This is an enviable poem, one of those, "OH, WHY can't I write like that????" poems. LJ from ID
-------
Lida Jo, you are welcome to use anything I write. I wish I could write well all the time. I wonder if Robert Frost (my favorite) ever had a dry spell?
...Bill (BR)
-------
BR, thank you so much! Yes, Mr. Frost had dry periods and occasionally I run across a poem of his that I consider not up there with his great stuff.
I do love your work! Lida Jo

In another world
My imagination soars
Closer to heaven

In close harmony
Diverse voices join as one
Civilization

Nobly withstanding
the dessications of days
Pride overcomes nedds

*needs

Your corrigenda

Diversity
lets a hundred flowers bloom
the start of friendships

Heaven's light shining
Gently on different roads
Leading us to God
...Bill
-------
This is giving me goosebumps. I have a son we call BR whose buisiness name is Bill and he could have written this Haiku. I love the title you worked from Bill and I love the power of the word 'gently' as you used it here. Wonderful. LJ from ID
-------
I appreciate your comments. My name is William Roberts and I live in New Hampshire. I used to think that there was only one narrow road leading to God. As this poem shows, my concepts have changed.

Forgot to mention
the sins of the doubly wise
take more forgiveness

Too true. vin

Great collaboration, Poets! Well done, and truth! LJ from ID

Moonrise at sunset
Love's light coming and going
We are not alone
I am so confused

twins light years away
reunited at void's edge
burn on my brothers

Some hot buttered toast
Bacon frying in the pan
Life's simple pleasures

Winter
Souls launch from the shoe

Winter reigns
beneath it's mantel
new life stirs
....BR

A million diamonds
Shining from each laden bough
Nature's treasure trove

winter's present
illuminated ribbons
streaming gift wrap sky

You left your earrings
And your false teeth on the stand
Please gum back to me
Arch fiend, lover!

flapping tarpaulin
dangerously leaning tent pole
newly wed campers

favorite fetish
i tiptoe on his two lips
erotic instep

lonely summer night
I hear the owl call my name
tears for my leaving

Only one half lives well
Whilst the other is away
Together as one
